lMPROVEMENT IN RADIATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l85,582, dated December19, 1876; application led June 5, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J osEPH SHAcKLEToN, ofRailway, in the county ot' Union and State of New Jersey, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Radiators, which invention is fully setforth in the following speciti' cation, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, in which- Figure l represents a longitudinalvertical section of my improvement. Fig. 2. is a vertical crosssectionthereof.

SimilarI letters indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists in a radiator which is constructed of a box orjacket containing l1eating-pipes,and which is perforated in such partsthereof that when the said jacket is arranged in the wall ot" anapartment, the pure and cold air exterior to the said apartment ispermitted to enter the jacket while it escapes .therefrom into theapartment in a heated state. The heating-pipes are bent, and eachcommunicates at one end with a feed-chamber, and at. the other end witha discharge chamber, situated at one end ot' the box or jacket, so thata constant circulation may be kept up in the pipes.

ln the drawing, the letter A designates the box or jacket of myradiator, and B B are heating-pipes arranged within it. rlhe box orjacket A is provided with a door, O, at one end thereof, and at itsother end with two branches, A1 A2, which extend therefrom in oppositedirections. These branches A1 A2 are each provided with holes orperforations d e in one ot' their sides, the holes d being formed in theouter side of the branch A1, while the holes e are formed in the innerside of the branch A2. rlhe branch A2 communicates directly with theinterior ot' the box or jacketA, while the branch A1 communicatestherewith through a tlue, D, the object of this flue being to conductthe air, which is per-` mitted to enter through the perforations d, tothe rear part ot' the jacket.

The heating-pipes B are bent in the form ot' a U, or nearly so, asshown, and they are each connected at one end to a chamber, E, and atthe other end to a chamber, F. These chambers E F are situated at theouter end .ot' the jacket A, and contiguous to the branches AI A2.Steam, or any other suitable heating medium, is admitted to the chamberE through a pipe, g. From the chamber E the steam circulates through theheatingpipes B, whence it discharges into the chan1 ber F, and from thischamber it escapes by a pibe, h.

In putting up my radiator l arrange the body of the jacket A contiguousto the tloor of an apartment, and place the branches A1 A2 in the wallof such apartment in such a manner that the perforations d e,respectively, face the opposite sides ot' the wall. The pure cold airexterior to the said wall is permitted to enter the jacket A through theperforations d, where it becomes heated, while it escapes into theapartment in its heated state through the perforations e, as indicatedby arrows in Fig. 1.

What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A radiator composed of a box or jacket, A, having the branch Al,provided with perforation d on its outside, and the branch A2, providedwith pertbrationeon its inside, plate, in combination with theheating-pipes l5, the whole being adapted to operate substantially asset forth.

Iln testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal this 18th day ot' April, 1876.
